Dealing with Doctors, from Kim Zussman
My friend was saying the other day that it is very rare that any lawyer's or accountant's or architect's office would treat one the way an average doctor's office does. Their office procedures are the worst.
I told him, yes, but attorney and accountant's fees are not controlled by insurance company/ government monopoly. It well demonstrates the effect of central-control of business vs free market.
Locally a number of my medical colleagues have tried to become "concierge" practices, but are finding it difficult as patients can't accurately assess superiority of care and place a value on it.
